Why Delocate?
By Staff, Adbusters
Whether you're standing in a suburban strip-mall parking lot or hustling by on a crowded city sidewalk, if you throw a rock, you'll likely hit a Starbucks. For those who long for the days of cafes long on character, but short on Mint Mocha Chip Frappuccinos, Delocator.net is there to help. Just plug in your ZIP code, and it will pop out a list of independently owned cafes within five miles. If you're outside the US, you can download the code and set up a similar site for your own country. -- Hannah Lobel

Fruits of Global Warming
Michael McCarthey, The Independent
New evidence of global warming is hanging from the branches of orchards in the UK. A toastier Britain is now reaping harvests of apricots. Entrepreneurial farmers there are gearing up to take advantage of a warming planet by adding a few other hotter-climate crops to the mix like kiwis and almonds. -- Hannah Lobel
